This part of Brooklyn included historical petroleum refining and storage operations along the banks of Newtown Creek. The site was discovered when chemical contamination was found in soil and groundwater outside the historic petroleum spill area. “EPA has tested a number of buildings in the area for vapor intrusion issues and proposes ...
To help researchers assess the quality of these commodities, Alfa Chemistry, one of the most popular suppliers of analytical reagents, recently announced the release of a new line of petrochemical standards, which can be used to analyze and test petroleum, gasoline, fuels, hydrocarbons and many other types of petrochemical-relevant substances. ...
The petroleum industry is one of the world’s largest and most profitable. It generates fuels and oil-based products that power the world’s economy. Filtration tests help ensure the safety and efficiency of the production processes as well as the quality and safety of petroleum products. In this eBook, we explore the different stages ...

Screening and quality control of petroleum products and fuels can be a tedious and expensive process when performed with traditional methods. A faster and more efficient approach utilizing Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is presented in a free webinar by Metrohm in association with Digital Refining on June 16, 2021. Participants will get an overview what NIRS is, how to implement this ...
RU in Baghdad, Luke Oil may invest $45 billion in Iraq's oil projects by 2035. Luke Petroleum has invested about $8 billion in this area, which will reach about $45 billion by 2035, according to the agreement. ...
Many people wonder how often our water is tested: Drinking water can be tested around the clock; including hourly, monthly, quarterly, and annually, depending on the locations and size of the public water system. ...
"There's no one plant officially accepted as the standard for testing petroleum toxicity, but lettuce has been accepted by the community as very sensitive to toxins, especially petroleum," said Rice graduate student Julia Vidonish, the paper's lead author. ...
As momentum builds in the run-up to PEFTEC 2015 (18th-19thNovember), visitors are now able to register for free at www.PEFTEC.com. Registration will provide visitors with access to the Exhibition and technical Seminars. The Exhibition will include over 120 international laboratory and process monitoring equipment suppliers and analytical service providers. Registration is now open for the PEFTEC ...
A proposed new ASTM International standard will provide a simplified way to test for dissolved gases, such as methane and ethane, in water. Environmental and testing laboratories will be able to use the proposed standard to ensure that drinking water is safe in areas in which hydraulic fracturing occurs. ...
The method requires just 2 mL sample, which makes flashpoint testing safe and reduces hazardous waste and sample costs. In contrast to classical flashpoint testing the Grabner method does not require an open flame, but detects the flashpoint through the spontaneous pressure increase inside a continuously closed cup. ...
“This can be an important step in the efforts to continue to displace petroleum by using biomass resources,” NREL Manager for Bioprocess Integration R&D Dan Schell said. ...
Grabner Instruments, a subsidiary of AMETEK, Inc. has upgraded its top-selling portable vapor pressure tester - the MINIVAP VPXpert. After extensive testing Grabner Instruments has released a new method to test Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) up to 1000 kPa pressure. The MINIVAP VPXpert tests according to ASTM D6897, the Grabner ...
The requirements specified for diesel fuel oils shall be determined in accordance with the following test methods: flash point; cloud point; water and sediment; carbon residue; ash; distillation; viscosity; sulfur; copper corrosion; cetane number; cetane index; aromaticity; lubricity; and conductivity. ...
These properties of the oil involved in specification limits for aging stability may be measured after the oxidative aging (and sometimes before aging) by appropriate test methods such as Test Method D924, Test Method D1169, and Test Method D664. 1. Scope 1.1 This test method ...
Scope 1.1 This test method covers a high performance liquid chromatographic test method for the determination of mono-aromatic, di-aromatic, tri+-aromatic, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contents in diesel fuels and petroleum distillates boiling in the range from 150 to 400°C. ...
The basic test method of determining the boiling range of a petroleum product by performing a simple batch distillation has been in use as long as the petroleum industry has existed. ...
This standard describes an apparatus that provides the versatility required to conduct oxidation or thermal stability tests on liquids using a wide variety of test conditions. It is sufficiently flexible so that new test conditions can be chosen in response to the changing demands of the marketplace. Procedures using ...
Some petroleum products are treated with mineral acid as part of the refining procedure. Obviously, any residual mineral acid in a petroleum product is undesirable. The absence of a positive indication in the test for acidity of the distillation residue or aqueous extract of a hydrocarbon liquid is an ...
Distillation limits are often included in petroleum product specifications, in commercial contract agreements, process refinery/control applications, and for compliance to regulatory rules. 1. Scope 1.1 This test method covers the procedure for the determination of the distillation characteristics of ...
Consequently, the type of fuel under consideration must first be identified in order to select applicable tests. Test Method D4815 provides a procedure for determining oxygenate concentration in mass percent. Test Method D4815 also includes procedures for calculating mass oxygen content and oxygenate concentration in volume ...
